Why "annoyingly good travel books?" Because Simpson sees him as a rival or because he doesn't think Tories should be good at that sort of thing?
I find there's something scruffily unwholesome about him: he always looks as though he's borrowed somebody else's clothes & then spent the night sleeping in a hedge. But what I cannot forgive is the big lie: "80% of British voters support May's deal" - in my view, that makes him an unscrupulously ambitious little man.
Frayed collar and hair too long for even a five-month military man! Wikipedia says he was a deputy governor, does John Simpson know better? Agree that his support for Mrs May's Withdrawal Agreement has destroyed all of his credibility with me.
That's a very unflattering photo of Rory. Why couldn't you use his official portrait?

By the way - you enlarge can that to a quite terrifying degree!
You could always set it as your background screen? :)
DeleteI've enlarged it on the blog itself now, as I'm sensing a strong public demand for that!
